What is ESG reporting?

ESG reporting is the process of disclosing information about an organization's environmental, social, and governance performance, risks, opportunities, policies, and impacts. It enables investors, regulators, customers, and other stakeholders to evaluate how sustainability issues affect organizational performance and long-term value creation.

What is the difference between SASB and TCFD?

SASB provides industry-specific standards for reporting financially material sustainability issues, while TCFD focuses specifically on climate-related financial risks and opportunities through disclosures covering governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. Organizations often use both frameworks together to provide comprehensive sustainability disclosures.

Are TCFD and SASB still relevant after the introduction of ISSB standards?

Yes. The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) incorporated significant elements of both SASB and TCFD into its sustainability disclosure standards. Understanding SASB and TCFD remains important because they continue to influence sustainability reporting practices and support compliance with evolving global disclosure requirements.

Why is ESG reporting important for oil and gas companies?

ESG reporting helps oil and gas companies demonstrate transparency, manage climate and sustainability risks, improve investor confidence, strengthen ESG performance, meet regulatory requirements, enhance access to capital, improve stakeholder trust, and support long-term business resilience in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

Who should attend ESG Reporting and Frameworks (SASB, TCFD) training?

This course is designed for sustainability and ESG managers, sustainability reporting specialists, investor relations professionals, finance managers, risk and compliance managers, corporate governance professionals, internal auditors, environmental managers, HSE managers, climate risk specialists, strategy managers, legal and compliance officers, consultants, and executives responsible for sustainability reporting, climate disclosures, ESG performance, or corporate governance within the oil and gas industry.

Training on ESG Reporting and Frameworks (SASB, TCFD)

Course Overview

NEW

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has become a critical requirement for organizations seeking to meet investor expectations, regulatory requirements, sustainability commitments, and stakeholder demands for transparency. Companies across the oil and gas sector are increasingly expected to disclose material sustainability risks, climate-related financial impacts, governance practices, emissions data, and long-term resilience strategies using internationally recognized reporting frameworks. High-quality ESG reporting strengthens accountability, improves access to capital, enhances reputation, and supports informed decision-making.

This course equips participants with practical knowledge and skills to prepare, manage, and improve ESG disclosures using globally recognized frameworks, with a specific focus on the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. Participants also explore the evolving International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) requirements and their relationship with existing frameworks. The programme covers materiality assessment, governance structures, climate risk reporting, metrics and targets, scenario analysis, data management, assurance, stakeholder communication, and continuous improvement in sustainability reporting.

Through practical workshops, reporting simulations, disclosure reviews, materiality exercises, and industry case studies, participants develop the capability to prepare credible, decision-useful ESG reports that align with investor expectations, sustainability objectives, and emerging global disclosure requirements.
